Seattle Mariners Superstar Helps Usher in NHL Season on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners Superstar Helps Usher in NHL Season on Tuesday


The Seattle Kraken opened up the NHL season on Tuesday afternoon with a 3-2 loss against the St. Louis Blues at Climate Pledge Arena.

Due to an odd Opening Day scheduling quirk, the Kraken began the weekday contest at 1:30 p.m. PT.

Despite the loss and the different start time, it was fun to see Seattle Mariners star Cal Raleigh in attendance. You can see the picture of Raleigh in a booth below, courtesy of Circling Seattle Sports.

Since arriving in Seattle, Raleigh has continued to make himself a bigger and bigger part of the Seattle community. In fact, in a recent episode of the “Refuse to Lose” podcast, Raleigh’s father told us how much he loves the Pacific Northwest and how he’s grown into a leadership role. You can listen to that here.

Raleigh has also raised the “12th Man” flag at a Seattle Seahawks game in the past.

One of the best power hitters in all of baseball, Raleigh led all catchers in home runs this season with 34. He also posted 100 RBI. He’s in position to potentially win a Silver Slugger Award this season, and he also could end up winning a Gold Glove as well.

Despite Raleigh’s best efforts, the Mariners missed the playoffs by 1.0 game. At 85-77, it’s the second straight year that Seattle has missed the playoffs by that little margin.

The Mariners will now try to spend the offseason trying to figure out how to get back into postseason play for the first time since 2022.

San Francisco and Seattle will meet for the third time this season, the 49ers taking the first matchup and the Seahawks taking the second. Winner of the Divisional Round will advance to the NFC Championship, the final round ahead of Super Bowl LX at Levi’s® Stadium.

Seahawks Will Host Rams Or 49ers In Divisional Round

Seahawks Will Host Rams Or 49ers In Divisional Round


The Seahawks will host an NFC West opponent in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Whether that opponent is the Rams or the 49ers will be determined on Sunday when the 49ers play the Eagles in Philadelphia. Also still to be determined is the date and time of the game.

The Rams, who are the No. 5 seed, beat the Panthers on Saturday to advance, and since Seattle, as the No. 1 seed, hosts the lowest-seeded team that advances out of the wild card round, the sixth-seeded 49ers would come to Lumen Field if they win on Sunday. If the Eagles win, however, the Rams would come to Seattle, while the Eagles would head to Chicago to face the Bears, who beat the Packers on Saturday night.

The Seahawks split the season series with both teams, losing to the 49ers in Week 1 and the Rams in Week 11 before beating the Rams in Week 16 and the 49ers in Week 18 as part of a seven-game winning streak that helped them win the NFC West and earn the No. 1 seed.

Next weekend’s game at Lumen Field will be the Seahawks’ first home playoff game with fans in the stadium—they hosted a wild card game in an empty stadium following the 2020 regular season—since they beat the Lions in the wild card round during the 2016 season. Prior to that empty-stadium loss to the Rams five years ago, the Seahawks won 10 consecutive home playoff games dating back to the start of their Super Bowl run in 2005. The Seahawks have reached the Super Bowl in each of the three previous seasons that they earned the No. 1 seed.
